As Thailand moves forward with its legislative process for the proposed entertainment complex bill, the final vote in the Lower House could only take place between September and October of this year, reports Asia Gaming Brief.
Speaking to the publication, Akkaraporn Muangsobha, a lawyer and partner at R&T Asia (Thailand) added: “The legislative process will involve several critical stages, including a detailed review by an appointed committee during the Bill’s second reading."
The bill received cabinet approval on March 27th, but the country’s Parliament has not yet been officially notified of its submission timeline.
Then this week, Thai authorities decided to postpone the parliamentary debate on the bill amid mounting opposition and a concerning international trade environment.
Still, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra emphasised that the government is not withdrawing the proposal, with the bill to maybe be “presented to the parliament in its next session” she said.
